"Ill be policeman/' said Jerry.

Jerry looked up the street and down the street.

"Cars are coming from both ways/' said Jerry.
He stopped on the sidewalk and put up his hand
just as a policeman does. Judy stopped. She and
Jerry stood on the sidewalk and waited. Soon
there were no cars coming from the right or the
left or around the corner. Now they could walk
across the street safely.

"Go," said Jerry in a big voice, just like a police-
man.

Judy started to run.

"Don't run/' said Jerry. "The people in cars can
see you better if you walk across the street. They
might not see you if you run out in front of them/'

So they walked across the street safely.

As they walked along on the sidewalk, a big
blue automobile came to a stop beside them. A
voice said, "Don't you want to ride with me?"

At first Jerry and Judy thought it was a stranger.
They were going to say, "No, thank you/' Then
they saw it was not a stranger. It was the father
of Donald, one of the boys in their class. Donald
was riding to school with his father.
